Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose) Downward Facing Dog Pose, called Adho Mukha Svanasana in Sanskrit, is one of the most basic yoga poses. Here are some cues for getting into the pose, as well as tips on how to use a variation at work.

Cobra, Sphinx, and Seal Poses These asana will help to open your chest and throat and access Vishuddhi chakra or several meridian lines in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cobra is an essential part of Sun Salutations, while Sphinx and Seal are integral Yin poses.

Half Pigeon Pose Ardha Kapotanasana, as the pose is called in Sanskrit, is one of the strongest stretches for your gluteal muscles, but the supine variation is best for beginners.

Janu Sirsasana This pose is deceptively simple. Be careful and pay attention to your form so that you don’t injure yourself.

Padmasana and Its Friends Lotus can be wonderful for a meditation pose, but it’s contraindicated for many people. You’ll need to experiment to find your perfect version - which may not be what you think it is!
